Wedding Trend of The Week: DIY Flower Fun

Would you believe these blooms came from a farmer's market?
Bridal Trend: Save Thousands On Flowers
Summer Flowers1
By Charli Penn · Updated October 28, 2020
Brides who want to save big on their wedding like to put their own DIY spin on their big day details.

Finding a way to make gorgeous flower arrangements for less is a great way to save instantly on centerpieces and bouquets, and summer is the time to do it. We spotted these beautiful blooms over on The Bride’s Café, and just loved the idea, so we had to share.

Visit your local farmer’s market and pick out the perfect blooms to match your décor. You’ll find a variety of pretty summer petals to pick from that will work in your wedding and your home. Plus, you’ll save thousands by mixing homemade arrangements with your florist’s creations. Arrange the blooms in pretty vases for a look that’s both organic and beautiful.
